Authors: Holly Sullivan, David Koechlein, Justin Lussier Introduction The ability produce biological drugs at lower costs and higher yields has been a major focus for biomanufacturing. With the advent of Single-Use Bioreactors and improved molecular biology, cell cultures can be > 20 x 106 cells/mL (1). Clarification of these cultures typically involves a primary depth […]

Online Raman spectroscopy is a very well-established measurement technique for accurate measurements of glucose, lactate, viable cell density, and product concentration. Adaptive or closed-loop control strategies are now widely utilized to maintain glucose concentration at a fixed setpoint or to minimize lactate accumulation by adjusting the glucose feed rate. Additionally, this technology provides significant information about […]
Introduction Dosing Systems and Dosing Technology for Pharma Applications Accurate dosing is a critical task in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in areas such as cell and gene therapy, stem cell research, and small-scale pharmaceutical production. The integration of high-precision peristaltic pumps, ultrasonic flow sensors, and a real-time measurement and control system significantly enhances dosing accuracy […]
What Are Peristaltic Pumps? Peristaltic pumps — also called tubing pumps, roller pumps, or hose pumps — are important tools for medical, laboratory, and bioprocess/biopharma processes. They are a laboratory staple commonly used for processes such as fluid transfers, filtration/chromatography applications, volume dosing/metering, and volume control of all types of vessels. Peristaltic pumps are positive […]
Introduction In the bioprocessing industry, bioreactor controllers are often used to tightly control many parameters within a bioreactor process run. The measurements that are controlled are called Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) and include real-time pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), CO2, temperature, biomass and metabolites. Digital vs Analog Communication Protocols in Biotech Analyzers often have many different […]
